Noted and signed. Thanks for the information, this is so cruel, to send then to a racetrack where they will be discarded after a season and then hung slowly. Words fail me.

One cruel country sending its dogs to an equally cruel country. Shame on both these countries, greed, money and profit is all these so-called dog owners think about. Both countries discard the racing greyhounds when they are used up and finished, like bags of trash, to be thrown away like yesterday's garbage Both these countries murder these dogs as they see fit. Shame, shame, shame on both Ireland and Spain.

Noted and signed to not send Irish greyhounds to Spain. Why are they being sent to Spain, that has a reputation of cruelty to animals. To see the picture of the Dogs hanging from the trees makes me so angry that there is such cruelty to animals still in this world.
Thank You Cher.

You race Greyhounds, almost to the point of death, but that's not enough for you, so when they're considered,"past their prime' you'll hang them from a tree,with their feet just touching the ground, so they 'dance' to live, until they no longer have the strength. If you don't see, how insanely cruel this, then you're without your reasoning skills. No Irish Greyhound, should EVER got to Spain (Saved on FB)
